If the wound keeps festering, that's bad, so the blanket antibiotic at least works in that sense. The South African solution is probably better than holding up a few little scapegoats who worked in the Justice Department because they helped fix the Florida election. <BR/><BR/>The best outcome is we get an ongoing emphasis on Open Government, and there's reason to hope Obama can get something going there, given how much Congress critters love looking righteous.MarcLordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17036432624426967890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32850048.post-17180823308243173852008-07-29T13:31:00.000-07:002008-07-29T13:31:00.000-07:00I predict President Obama will set up a "Truth and...I predict President Obama will set up a "Truth and Reconciliation" commission that, while outing the truth, will also provide immunity for anyone not covered under Bush's upcoming blanket pardons.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04131130287667282873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32850048.post-39655255824566851702008-07-29T13:29:00.000-07:002008-07-29T13:29:00.000-07:00jon,thanks for the link and info. i will really be...jon,<BR/><BR/>thanks for the link and info. i will really bear this in mind, because if Obama becomes President it might come in handy.<BR/><BR/>The best way to get at the Bush Administration would be by getting other countries to indict them. There will be a "Church Committee" type of effort in Congress under the next admin, an effort is probably better focused on rolling back Closed Government than on prosecution. <BR/><BR/>Proving criminal intent would be very difficult domestically, whereas the international courts only need to focus on criminal outcomes.MarcLordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17036432624426967890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32850048.post-41357032236587384322008-07-29T13:17:00.000-07:002008-07-29T13:17:00.000-07:00Bruce, it's a cool chart--as Jon notes, it's incom...Bruce, it's a cool chart--as Jon notes, it's incomplete, but you have to stop somewhere short of infinity.MarcLordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17036432624426967890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32850048.post-76832180513867560742008-07-29T12:38:00.000-07:002008-07-29T12:38:00.000-07:00I don't believe a Presidential pardon applies to c...I don't believe a Presidential pardon applies to civil suits. Also, it appears that the pardons don't apply to convictions in State courts; see http://www.usdoj.gov/pardon/pardon_instructions.htm<BR/><BR/>More importantly, Presidential pardons don't apply to International crimes....this entire administration will be afraid to cross the border for the rest of their lives.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and the diagram from Slate in the article Bruce mentions doesn't include the outing of an undercover CIA agent at a time of war.

Actually, Novak was probably already on the list to cover up his part in the treasonous outing of an undercover CIA agent. Anyone have an over/under on how many people in his administration get a blanket pardon when he leaves office? 1,000 maybe?Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04131130287667282873noreply@blogger.com
